yeah, you want to keep it fun, but at the same time, its like fishing, its fun to go fishing but if you go 5 times in a row and don't catch anything it sucks. In other words you want to motivate her to get better because the more better you get, improving is fun and will get her to keep working at it. If she picks up a bow and shoots 8 arrows once a week, she's not going to get better and thus, won't be inspired to like shooting or to want to shoot.

Now my wife, I have her shoot 50 arrows a night thru the week, and 100 each day on the weekends) When she is done, I do a 5 spot challenge drill from 20 yards, one round, for each X she misses, thats one lap around the perimeter of our property (5 acres). Fast jog. If she hits all spots, I start the dishwasher that night. People are like pets, we all are motivated by rewards.

You are just way to kind to the woman slippy its funny she dont run all over you every chance she gets. Tighten the grips a little on her or youre going to lose her.

I just got my wife a new bow and was wondering any ideas to keep her interested in shooting as often as I do? She really wants to go hunting this fall and I really want her to be ready. Any tips would be great

just before you two practice, put blunts on all her arrows and have her practice shooting at you, that should keep her interested. I know that would make many here enjoy their target practice sessions alot more. I would also lock all the target points and broadheads away where she can't get to them also prior to your practice sessions .
